I wouldn't say dying in your sleep at 86 is any kind of curse

When you're 86, make sure you remind yourself of that every night before you go to sleep.

In the late 70's (long before we met) the missus and her then Mother-in-law had dinner with Jon and Bill Pertwee at an Italian restaurant in Southampton where one of them was on stage. Both of them were lovable old rogues by all accounts with some great stories to tell.

Before you ask; no she didn't.

Yeah, I want to go like my father did; quietly, in his sleep.

Not screaming in fear like the other people in the car...
